Ok,
product: 82801JD/DO (ICH10 Family) SATA AHCI Controller
CONFIG_ATA=y # CONFIG_ATA_NONSTANDARD is not set CONFIG_ATA_ACPI=y CONFIG_SATA_PMP=y CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y # CONFIG_SATA_SIL24 is not set CONFIG_ATA_SFF=y # CONFIG_SATA_SVW is not set CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y Your configuration appears to contain the necessary drivers. Did you install your kernel correctly? Are you using grub1? grub2? There was some discussion on this e-mail list recently about some grub2 issues. Please also post your grub.conf & show ls -lR of /boot. You can see my old page here: http://installkernel.tripod.com/ik/index.html cd /usr/src/linux ; make dep ; make clean ; make bzImage ; make modules ; make modules_install ; mv /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.4.17 ; mv /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.17 ; ln -sf /boot/System.map-2.4.17 /boot/System.map ; vi /etc/lilo.conf || vi /boot/grub/grub.conf Is this what you followed (or similar)?
